Nonlinguistic+Representation

Read & Reflect
“A picture says 1000 words”. . . pics and images can convey complex concepts in simple ways. They can evoke emotions and reactions quickly and effectively in ways words do not. They can show relationships (venn diagrams, pert charts, flow charts and can show scale and dimensions. They make the meaning more concrete for many learners
 * What is the purpose of representing knowledge in different forms?**

In my current practice, most of me instruction is with teachers. I have them create curriculum maps that show the relationship between and among courses, units and objectives. We’ve even mapped out a program using color coded sticky notes on a wall! Teachers can look at course outlines or a list of GLCE’s but seeing them mapped out results in “ah ha” moments all the time.
 * When do I ask students to represent knowledge using forms other than words?**

How to make it simpler.
 * What questions do I have about representing Knowledge?**

I truly enjoyed this activity. We are planning a return trip to NYC and were going through pcis of our last trip when we went to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. My husband’s grandfather came to EI from Poland at 2 years old dressed as a girl because Poland was not letting males leave the county. My kids love to hear the old stories from my parents and I marvel at how in basically one generation so much has changed (and stayed the same in some ways).

I found PhotoPeach very easy to use and could see students using it as an initial activity to cue learning and organized what they know about a subject and add photos as they learn. This could lead to a capstone project where they showcase their fully knowledge on a subject.
